Mark made it home safe from work and we both enjoyed the new Torchwood. The new episode info from the latest Doctor Who magazine has already been posted, which was all good to know. Oh, and The Sarah Jane Adventures have officially been confirmed for 12 new episodes.

Later, my stomach was still upset, but still not as bad as it's been in the past. I'm cool with it, which is odd, I suppose.

Mark & I both finished the 3rd Season of Battlestar Galactica, though separately. I'll watch the Razor movie later. I would rate Battlestar Galactica as my 2nd favorite Sci-Fi show after Firefly/Serenity, which is high praise from me. To me, the Firefly series and it's concluding feature film are this perfect thing, which was then shared with some of my closest friends. There are no flaws in it. Battlestar Galactica is in many ways it's equal, or even better - yet it isn't complete, and I won't know how I really feel about it until it reaches it's conclusion. That being said, as it is, I can recommend it highly to my friends. My 3rd favorite sci-fi series would be Doctor Who & it's spin-offs. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise follow closly behind. Buffy/Angel would rank on that list too, except I don't consider them sci-fi. I'm hoping the 2 upcoming Star Wars series will also feature on this list.

I can't wait to dive into the Dune series when my books arrive tomorrow. I'm thinking of reading the Narnia books as well. I've read the first 3 chronological books, but never made it through the other 4. I'd asked for a boxed set of the series when I was in grade school, and gotten them for Christmas. I have fond memories of reading "Prince Caspian" (my favorite of the 3 I've read), at my grandmother's home. I started but did not finish "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" which I found to be annoying at the time. I read "The Magician's Nephew" at random, years later - and was excited to learn that it was in fact a prequel, which any of the new box sets take for granted; the older boxed sets used to carry the 7 volume set in the order the books were published, which is rather different. Anyways, I might purchase some new copies of the books, as mine are boxed away, and are kind of crappy. lol

I haven't spoken to Michael in days. I haven't seen him in nearly a week. I think about him a lot. I miss him. But I don't know what I should say to him at any given moment. I'm kind of wrapped up in my own head; so many thoughts, and all so complex that I find it hard to express them. I sometimes wonder if this is how my father feels all the time? Did he end up getting lost completely? I think so. Though I think that on my worst days I'm simply breaching the edge of the dark forest where my real father was last seen. Sometimes I catch glimpses of him, but never for long.

Feeling physically ill, and terrible weather doesn't encourage me to break out of my personal shell.
